Over the coming weeks, the site will continue to grow with an archive of previous newsletters, exclusive content, and additional betting analysis beyond what appears in the newsletter.

PGA Tour Hits Regular Season Finale in Greensboro

The PGA Tour heads to Greensboro for the Wyndham Championship, the final event of the regular season before the FedExCup Playoffs begin.

Cameron Young is the defending champion, whom we like in a positional bet as you'll see below. Plenty to play for this week, especially that top 70 spot.

Let's hit the card.

Cameron Young top-10 finish (+125) - FanDuel

• We played this exact bet last week and cashed it at +125. This week, Cam returns to the site of his first PGA Tour title, last year. He's the favorite for a reason, but +850 is too low for me.
• Young is the tournament favorite and for good reason. After a midseason slump that included four straight non-top 25 finishes, he went right back to early season form with a runner-up finish at The Open and an 8th place last week in Detroit.
• Don't forget, he won at The Players and Doral and finished third at both the Masters and API. This field is none of those.
• He's 5th tee-to-green, 7th in shots gained total, 10th off the tee and 20th on approach. His 90th-ranked putting measures aren't terrible, and he gained strokes putting at The Open and again last week in Detroit, after failing to do so in the previous three events, which contributed to his slump.
• He's gained strokes on approach in 13 straight events, off the tee in all 16 events this season and overall in all but one event.

Best Bet: ⭐ Cam Young Top-10 Finish (+125)
